Winslet is said to join choirmaster Gareth Malone and Take That star Gary Barlow on the list, with both men receiving an OBE in part for their services to music.

Winslet,36, became a household name following her role as Rose in James Cameron's Titanic. She has since won an Oscar for her performance in The Reader and Golden Globes for The Reader and Revolutionary Road.

She is currently filming Jason Reitman's adaptation of Labor Day with Josh Brolin.
